It isn't always easy to keep track of what's in, what's out; what's hot and what's not. We turned to SCV's home improvement experts to find out what colors, designs, finishes and finds are gracing the "it" kitchens of Santa Clarita.

nano-technology hard-to-scratch finishes
One more reason why buying American is a good call: wood flooring finishes. In the States, top-rated nanotechnology has enabled US manufacturers to embed aluminum oxide particles into the final finish coat on domestically-produced wood floors. That extra-tough addition makes the flooring incredibly scratch resistant. These long-wearing floors are ideal for rooms with lots of foot traffic or a good deal of pulling/pushing chairs out and in. In contrast, imported flooring from Asia does not yet incorporate the same quality finishing in its production.

Natural light can illuminate your interior spaces and provide solar gain to reduce heating bills. There are many valid reasons to bring more natural light into your home. It helps combat seasonal affective disorder, can make us feel more connected to the natural world and supports healthy biological rhythms.

achieving eternal spring with paint palettes
Each A.Allbright palette has an individual name and the colors within it adhere to the mood the name suggests. For instance, "Malibu" instantly speaks of sea and beach and affluence. The Mineral color palette evokes a spring-like feeling with its fresh color combinations of Lime Stone, Patina and Yellow Diamond. The A.Allbright Mineral Palette represents strength and natural beauty working harmoniously together.

Do your floors, counters, showers and outdoor hard surfaces look dull and dirty? Have your light-gray or white grout lines lost their brilliance?

You can have confidence in the fully-trained and IICRC-certified technicians at CBC Cleaning and Restoration. They specialize in hard surface cleaning and will give your home decor a welcome lift for spring.

spa-like kitchens
Bold, bright hues have taken a backseat to more spa-like colors in the kitchens of 2013. Although emerald is the color of the year, you won't see this bold color as much in the kitchen as you would in your wardrobe. Kitchens are the hub of the home; it is where everything from family meetings, homework and, of course, cooking take place. This is why the new trend colors of flannel grey, shale, white and deep tan will help soothe and renew the family. Adding a contrast of interest is also essential in 2013.

granite counters paired with mosaic tile backsplashes
Dueling textures, one cool and smooth, the other vibrating with energy and dimension, fuse together in this kitchen to make the space efficient and inviting. Wood-look floor tiles complete the easy-to-maintain package. Available in eight new styles from which to choose, the tiles are visually reminiscent of real wood - without the cost or upkeep.

decks & countertops with easier-to-clean surfaces
New, solid surfaces will make grout cleaning a thing of the past. Stone products like Cambria, Caesarstone and Silestone offer even, consistent colors, less-noticeable seams, zero stain penetration and a homogeneous look.

Sessemo stone tile
We love the variety of natural stone materials because the multiple sizes, finishes, shapes and material make creating a unique, one-of-a-kind design easy. These materials can be incorporated with other natural stones or porcelains as an accent for a backsplash or shower. They also work as shown for an entire installation. The possibilities are endless. Pictured here: The herringbone pattern incorporates one of the hottest design trends, shown in Nemestrinus Brushed finish. It is complemented by the No-grout Diamond Vincenza and the 3/8 x 12 Pixie Stick Vincenza. The countertop is fabricated out of Calacatta Gold.
